Sand Through My Fingers

by ena-alysopriono

How to describe something so perfect? A smile that shines brighter through your eyes than your lips Slowly leaning into you The way you easily reciprocate my sarcasm You keeping the receipt from our first date with our stick figure rendition that the waitress drew for us Pausing the movie so we could dance Our first kiss The whirlwind of the first week Hearing I love you tumble from your lips How to describe something so wrong? A wall, though not physical in nature, effective just the same The grains of you slipping through my fingers The absence of the spark in your eyes that told me I was the only one The silence that should be filled with the words I never said I love you too
